Saxon Baum Speaks to Lasher Business Students
Sep 18, 2025
The Lasher Center for Business and Entrepreneurial Studies was excited to welcome back Saxon Baum to speak to the high school juniors and seniors of the Lasher Business Institute as part of our Monday Night Entrepreneurship Symposium. Mr. Baum, a Partner at Florida Funders, shared insights on venture capital, startup growth, and the qualities of successful founders, drawing from his experience helping build one of the Southeast’s most active early-stage tech investment firms. Florida Funders has now invested over $300 million in more than 100 companies, and Mr. Baum’s talk offered students an inspiring look into the fast-paced world of innovation and entrepreneurship.
